Rangers B boss David McCallum has delivered an update on Alex Lowry as he revealed the midfielder is 'progressing well' in his recovery.
The 19-year-old - who is highly-regard by the Light Blues - was crocked last month after a horror challenge from Dumbarton's Ally Love during the young Gers' hammering of the Scottish League Two leaders in the SPFL Trust Trophy.
Lowry is not near returning to a football pitch and won't be ready to fight for a place in any squads at this time but the injury he picked up is not as long-term as first feared. He has been part of Giovanni van Bronckhorst's first-team set up and was rewarded back in May with a contract extension that see him through until 2025. Delivering an update ahead of Rangers Under-19s UEFA Youth League clash with Napoli, McCallum said: "He is progressing well. He is obviously not back on the football pitch yet and not back in contention for any game time at the moment.
